Titan Flow Control Products

Titan Flow Control supplies strainers, check valves, butterfly valves, straining elements, and related piping products. These components support fluid-system protection and flow management.

A strainer intercepts solid debris before it reaches downstream equipment. Screen selection must balance the particle-removal objective against acceptable pressure drop and cleaning frequency.

A Y strainer contains a screen in an angled chamber connected to the main flow path. Installation orientation and cleaning access must follow the product's instructions.

A basket strainer uses a removable basket to collect debris. The design can provide useful collection capacity, but maintenance access and pressure-drop requirements still influence selection.

A duplex strainer has two straining chambers with a changeover arrangement. A suitable design allows one chamber to be serviced while flow passes through the other.

Mesh describes a woven screen, while perforations are openings formed in a sheet. Compare actual opening dimensions and construction rather than treating mesh numbers as universal particle ratings.

Identify the largest particle downstream equipment can tolerate, expected debris, and allowable pressure loss. Very fine openings can increase cleaning frequency and restrict flow unnecessarily.

The pressure difference across a strainer indicates flow resistance. Rising differential pressure at similar flow can indicate debris buildup and help establish an appropriate cleaning schedule.

A check valve limits reverse flow by responding to flow direction and pressure conditions. Selection depends on orientation, flow range, closing behavior, and system dynamics.

A butterfly valve uses a rotating disc to control or isolate flow. Its suitability depends on the liquid, temperature, pressure, seat material, and intended operating duty.

Suitability depends on the chosen body, trim, screen, gasket, and seat materials. Verify compatibility with the exact chemical and operating temperature for every fluid-contact component.

Use the specific product's pressure-temperature limits for its materials and connections. A nominal pressure class alone does not establish allowable pressure at every temperature.

Orientation can affect drainage, debris collection, and valve operation. Follow the model's flow-direction markings and instructions, and allow sufficient clearance for removal of the screen or basket.

Inspect screens, baskets, seals, and moving parts as applicable. Track leakage or pressure changes, and use the manufacturer's procedure for cleaning and replacing worn components.

A replacement must match service duty, dimensions, connections, materials, and ratings. Check face-to-face length and service access instead of selecting only by pipe size.
